Is Tweeterboard Relief From RSS Overload

I read a great post by Jeremiah Owyang over at his blog today about Tweeterboard. He notes a lot of great things about the service to include:

• metrics
• news feed
• rankings

He notes that this is finally a site that kind of ties the loose ends of Twitter together and also ties the inter-Twitter relationships together.

While reading one of his points about the “news feed” it got me to thinking. Since becoming a little more involved with Twitter I have found two things have happened

1. I have been neglecting my Google Reader feeds
2. I have been getting a lot of great news from the links my friends are putting on Twitter

However, the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. I found that I have been getting my news fix from the twitter links, and without having to sift through thousands of rss feeds. Enter Tweeterboard. For each user it creates a feed of the links they post on Twitter. Perfect. So now I can go do a major cleanup of my Google Reader feeds and get rid of half the crap and subscribe to my Twitter friends Tweeterboard link feeds. Its almost like a grid computer out there that is filtering out all the crap and I only see the news that is relevant, useful, and interesting.
